told Golovin that he fully sympathizes with the zemstvos etc., but he 
has been ordered to do everything in his power to prevent the 
con[gress].
Gol[ovin] pointed to the con[gress] of prof[essors], but Durnovo 
answered that this is something quite different since the university 
students must by all means be persuaded to begin their studies\.
